We have had good luck using Bonide's Moletox II against voles. We had wondered what was getting at hostas and heucheras such that the top of the plant was barely in the ground. We find if the plants are mulched, we can normally see a hole nearby and put the pellets into it. Since we have a cat, poisoned rodents would not be good, but apparently this is ingested and the toxic gases created are what kill the vole. Hopefully it would work with the groundhogs, too. We get it at Southern States.

Can relate with the comment above about the voles taking the joy out of it. Deer, too. We use slightly different tactics on the deer.
